Re: Why would you move back to the UK?
Look further down the page.... there is a thread of 2000+ posts entitled "5 reasons why you want to move back to the UK"
http://britishexpats.com/forum/showthread.php?t=366320
Read the first 10 pages or so - it's quite sensible to that point and should answer you question.
Are you thinking of moving back to the UK or are you just another one here to tell us a) what a crap hole it is and b) we're stoopid?

To get a better life than I had in Oz. Find that hard to believe well with a baby for the last 18mths in Oz I was lonely at home with a newborn. Here in the UK I have my life back I have babysitters in abundance and I get to have some me time. I have got my confidence back and never felt better.
OK the weather is grime right now and the house is smaller but I can put up with that if it means I get to go out and have a laugh with my mates every now and again. As for the house well at least it is warm and cosy unlike the house we had there. I dont have to wrap myself in a blanket on the sofa to watch TV here in the UK.

Re: Why would you move back to the UK?
Why would someone post a thread asking for why people are moving back who has no intention whatsoever in making that decision or even considering it and is having a 'fab' time ? Just to feel self congratulatory and smug ?

I wish many days of cloud on end didn't depress me, but they do. As to the rest of it, though, I'm mostly an indoors person so makes no difference.... unless of course I have to use public transport.
